Twilight Sparkle is intent on just finishing this accursed piece if it takes her all day. She will stop at nothing to ensure that she gets this absolutely perfect.

This requires solitude, peace and dedicated focus!

Pinkie decides that's boring and wants to help save Twilight from herself. Hilarity and awkward misunderstandings ensue as an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

After meeting Celestia in that strange place, Twilight came back to Equestria with a pair of gorgeous wings. But exactly how did she get those wings?

Just a silly one-shot idea I came up with months before the finale aired.

What happens when Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, Lyra and Bonbon all decide to tackle on the game of Everfree? They have to face the famous Slenderpony, that's what. Chaos and hilariousness ensues.

I don't own the cover image, and I'm actually looking for a better pic. Also, this fic has slight LyraBon and OctaScratch shipping, if anyone's wondering, but it's mostly just comedy between the four mares. The story was inspired by this video and is just a little something I decided to write to get over my writer's block.

Scootaloo is a changeling separated from the Hive. She's always been one, and nopony suspected a thing. After a hard day of Crusading she goes for her secret cider stash, but has a few too many and is promptly discovered.

Brought before Princess Twilight Sparkle the changeling tells her story, and shares her fears that Chrysalis may send her minions to drag her back. Twilight offers Scootaloo a chance to start a new life. But she has to sacrifice her old one first, which means saying goodbye to two of her closest friends...

AUTHOR'S NOTES

A lot of the fics I've seen in the featured box lately have involved Changelings, cider, Princess Twilight or Scootaloo. Oh, and Pokémon. So I decided to write a story which used all of them.

After one of Pinkie Pie's parties, Twilight decides to help her friend clean up. They end up spending a lot more time together, and nothing will ever be the same between them.

Pinkie Pie loves Ponyville. She loves everything about it!
Well, almost everything. Some things don't exactly agree with her.
Objects around Ponyville have started acting up. Emphasis on acting. They have suddenly come to life, and are attempting to attack Pinkie Pie. Luckily, she's trained in self defense...somehow...
The only other problem is... nopony believes her...

Pinkie Pie is attacked by ruffians in Ponyville Park. Then things get interesting.

So have you heard, young fillies and colts
The tale of blood and rainbows and bolts?
They say that it is a fan-made poem
For one to read in the dark of their home

He owns not the original story, they say
But he hopes that many will read this someday
And you, the reader, he does presume
Will comment and rate it fairly-thank you!

Gather around children, and I will tell you stories of a time long ago. Back in the days when Princess Luna strode the night sky, bringing beauty and joy to the hearts of all ponies who truly appreciated the night, before she was banished to the moon by a jealous and cruel elder sister. It was Luna who created us and gave us our gifts, and someday if we are all loyal and follow the guidance she has left behind, we will see her return to take her place as our glorious Queen of the Night.

So pay heed, and listen closely. For it all started on a night like this...

Update: With an excellent narration by Bad Horse with the most amazing peacock I have ever heard.

You know that feeling? You know, the feeling that you get when you realize you've forgotten something that is very, very important? It is 10:32 p.m. on Hearth's Warming Eve, and Twilight Sparkle has just gotten that feeling...
